STEORN DEMO LIVE & STREAM in Dublin, December 15th, 10 AM

Great work Groundloop!   And great information.  Just a quick question, do you think you could go magnet, toroid, coil, and test that? Not having toroids and magnets on both ends should generate some voltage, but probably not asmuch, but it would be a good test.  Also, have you had the opportunity to test Gyula's idea about directing and strengtening the flux by the steel horsesoe like configuration from sets of magnets on one toroid to the other set on the opposing toroid? Thanks!!

@ all

I have ordered my new toroids last night.  Al of 75 and permeability of 125.  OD of .87".

Cheers,

Bruce

I've been messing around with that type of setup. I'm using a 555 timer and an IRF630b. I have a toroid (radio shack... crappy) wound with 200+ turns of 30 AWG wire. I've wound a small pickup coil 400+ (30AWG) turns on a small bolt (3/4 inch long). The magnets I'm using (2 of them) are NEO's 1/4 inch diameter by 3 inches in length. My setup is magnet | toroid | pickup | magnet. The magnets are long enough so that they can touch each other to make a magnetic loop. I'm feeding the IRF630 with 9V going into the coil. I've been playing with the frequency a bit to find better results.

So far, not going well.... If I have the frequency around 140K Hz, I get about 24mV AC across the pickup coil. Scope showing a sine wave, but a bit choppy. I think my IRF630 may be a problem, but not certain. I'm not getting enough current through the toroid, 200 - 300 mA.

I'll try putting in more voltage later. Just wanted to let you guys know someone else is playing with a solid state version.

"Orbo is just one variation of the monopole system, and a poor one at that."

Sounds like bedini's getting jealous.

I agree. It sounds like he is getting jealous.

Hi Paul,

People need to be patient.  I think there will be breakthroughs in the understanding of how the Steorn works in our community over the next few days and they will find that it is INDEED OU.  It is right in front of you, don't ignore it. You have to understand inductors, loop current in core, direction of loop current, residule magnatism, electromagnetic biasing and mechanical biasing of/from rotor, coil winding direction and a whole lot more.  ALL have to be right for it to work. The motor IS a generator and a motor and it is OU. The proof will come but not first from me, but it will come.  Steorn knows it is OU.....I think he has a hard time explaining it but the scope and battery voltage shows it all IF you know how to look. The only thing wrong in his demo motor is that his circuit is not robust enough to keep going and going.  He has to get rid of that darn reed relay first! 

So keep building gang, keep experimenting.

The problem I see is that if he gets rid of the reed switch and goes with some other switching method it would complicate the setup. With a more complex setup there would be more wires everywhere and more people would scream it's a hoax.

SteornOfficial added me as a friend on Flickr. They have a load of photos posted, of setting up on 4th and 5th of January 2010, in pretty decent quality. Check it out.
